THERMALLY EXCITED LUMINESCENCE FROM RARE-EARTH DOPED SiO2 FOR FIBER-OPTIC THERMOMETER
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermally excited luminescence from rare-earth element doped SiO2 fibers were studied for the fiber-optic thermometer application in high temperature. Thermal radiation similar to the black body radiation was observed in visible light region from the SiO2 fibers doped with Y, La, Ce, Pr, Eu, Tb and Lu. Visible light radiation peaks due to f-f transitions of rare-earth ions were clearly observed in the Nd, Dy, Er, Ho, Tm and Yb doped SiO2 fibers. Intensity ratio of thermal radiation at different wavelength is suitable for the highly sensitive temperature measurement. The hybridization of fluorescent thermometry and thermal radiation thermometry is suggested to extend the temperature range and increase the temperature resolution.

Mn4+-Doped Magnesium Titanate—A Promising Phosphor for Self-Referenced Optical Temperature Sensing
Phosphors based on magnesium titanate activated with Mn 4 + ions are of great interest because, when excited with blue light, they display a strong red-emitting luminescence. They are characterized by a luminescence decay which is strongly temperature dependent in the range from -50 ∘ C to 150 ∘ C, making these materials very promising for temperature sensing in the biochemical field. In this w...

Rare earth (RE) ion luminescence has long been used in laser and optical fiber communications technology. Bulk RE doped oxides were widely used in color phosphors for Cathode Ray Tubes. The wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors and insulators have been used for visible emission at 300 K from RE ions since the reports first by Zanata (Zanatta and Nunes 1998) for Er in silicon nitride (photoluminesc...

متن کاملThermally induced mode coupling in rare-earth doped fiber amplifiers.
We present a simple semianalytical model of thermally induced mode coupling in multimode rare-earth doped fiber amplifiers. The model predicts that power can be transferred from the fundamental mode to a higher-order mode when the operating power exceeds a certain threshold, and thus provides an explanation of recently reported mode instability in such fiber amplifiers under high average-power ...
